On Wednesday, during the packaging class, we visited Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising. It is located just behind our college. We all took a walk from college and reached there. Its a small place but exhibits real cool and nostalgic collection of brands, packaging and advertising from 19th century onwards.
The Museum was started in 1963 by Robert Opie, at the age of sixteen with a packet of Munchies. Earlier located in Gloucester it shifted to its current premises in 2005.
What does the Museum has? Here are some pictures that I took. Due to the inside lighting and glass casing, pictures are not very good though. But still good to remind me about the museum...
Johnsons Baby Powder's early packaging
Cute Pepsi Cola logo and poster
Newspaper headlines announcing the death of Hitler
Look at the Cadbury's and Nestle Kit Kat logos
Hmmmm... Indian Curry has a place in history too
Cadbury's drinking chocolate
These are not so old but look at the left most Pepsi can
Aah, the Royal Wedding in 1981. It inspired an entire industry of souvenirs.
This is my favourite. Real quill pens. So they did exist!!
